A Tale of Transformation – Our Favorite Comeback Stories!

Ask any high-achiever on their preferred methods of achieving greatness, and they will let you know that they have failed countless times and practiced to win even more!

No matter what the mainstream media leads you to believe, success NEVER happens overnight. It’s just that we only get to see the products of success, once it has been achieved in a spectacular fashion.

In fact, some of the most famous and successful people have heard “no” more often than they remember, before finally getting that “yes” that changed their lives.

So, comebacks are not only possible but necessary for long-lasting success. And, they happen all the time!

In the spirit of summer and rebirth, here’s a list of our favorite comeback stories.

Michael Jordan

Jordan says, “I have lost 300 games, and lost more than 9000 shots in my career. I have failed over and over and over again, and that’s why I have succeeded!”

We know him as one of the best basketball players in the history of the game. But did you know that he was rejected by his high school varsity team. They said he was too short for the game at 5’11”.

Steven Spielberg

We know him for E.T., Jaws, Casper, The Friendly Ghost and so many more amazingly entertaining and engrossing movies. But he was rejected by the film school he desired to attend. Not once, but three times. Imagine what would have happened, had he given up.

He later became the youngest director ever to be hired by a studio. Steven knows his calling; he celebrates it with beautiful film-making, giving us adventures on the big screen, year after year.

Walt Disney

Look at it now, and Disney Theme Parks look like great investments that make tons of money in the blink of an eye. But life wasn’t easy for Walt Disney, when he revolutionized the idea of cartoons with his animation company in 1921.

Snow White and Mickey Mouse were trashed by critics. And Mr. Disney had to declare bankruptcy to overcome the immense debt he had undertaken. However, he believed in the financial and entertainment value of his vision, finding success at last.
